Does a Thurman Win Mean a Changing of the Guard at 147?
The possible fight of the year could be scheduled for July 20, 2019, at MGM Grand Las Vegas between welterweights WBA Regular Champion Senator Manny Pacquiao against WBA Super Champion Keith Thurman. Both men are considered two of the best in the welterweight division. But if Pacquiao's loses this bout will his boxing career be symbolically seen as the changing of boxer’s best from a new generation of boxers. Ushering in a change in boxing fans' perception of who is considered old and who’s the next level. This is just the scenario Champion Keith Thurman has stated will occur when he wins on July 20th. Does he have a point?
We all remember the days of Manny and Floyd Mayweather being compared, they were even one and two on the pound for pound list for a few years. Both men had not agreed to fight each other until that much anticipated May 2, 2015 bout. Many were disappointed in the performance of Pacquiao, but still felt he was one of the elite fighters in the division. Even though the loss to Mayweather that night, he has seven losses out of 61 bouts, but he is no longer on the pound for pound list for many outlets. In comparison, Thurman has not been on the pound for pound list at all. Some of which is due to the politics of boxing, the other Half has little to do with his actually highly skilled talent but because of inactivity after injuries. Before his layoff ‘One Time” fought two back to back tough fights against the young but dangerous Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter. Pulling out victories in both bouts. At that point, he should have been included in a Pound for Pound list, but because of factions and different promotional and network camps we deal with today, his name was dismissed. From consideration. He, unlike Pacquiao he is 29-0 with zero no contest.
This fight could end up being a serious contender for fight of the year but what does a Manny Pacquiao “L” mean for other welterweights in the division that are considered older and that have not retired?

WBA Regular Champion, Senator Pacquiao vs WBA Super Champion , Keith "One Time" Thurman Presser!
Hot off the press
Barnett & Bedford think the Lightweights in division are garbage!
Johnny Bedford and Reggie Barnett Jr. don’t agree on much. Like who deserves the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Title they both are vying for in tonights Tampa, FL bout. But they do agree on one point in particular. Each man believes the rest of the division is lackluster in their performances. Every time they give an interview these opponents say in unison that everyone else they have have been competing against is basically garbage. Fighters like Abdiel Velazquez and Rusty Crowder are on their long list of BKFC’s Fighters that do not have Bedford nor Barnett’s respect. Because their match-up was an eliminator that was two brackets with 4 men each (8 fighters total). Bedford and Barnett both have fighters through the elimination process they did not fight against. Since styles make fights. Let us understand that we can look forward to seeing some of these names again. The winner of these two Lightweight titles will still have a great deal to prove in the division.
